AEW Dynamite (Episode 350)
Sugar Land, Texas, at Smart Financial Centre
Simulcast live June 17, 2026, on TBS and HBO Max

[Hour One] Lexi Nair stood backstage with the MJF and the Callis Family. MJF boasted that he is the best pro wrestler today, which made Andrade El Idolo smile. MJF praised Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher. MJF also took verbal jabs at Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, and Mark Briscoe.

Callis introduced Team DCMJF: Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada, and Andrade El Idolo. Andrade asked MJF if he thinks he will join him, then asked, “How you know?” Callis said Andrade is a future world champion, but told him to do the match…

Excalibur, Taz, and Tony Schiavone checked in from their broadcast desk. Excalibur hyped that MJF, Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada, and Andrade El Idolo will face Mark Briscoe’s team in a 12-man tag, and the previously advertised matches…

Tony Nese was in the ring and wanted a match. Excalibur said Tony Khan said he had a match for him. Kenny Omega made his entrance while being introduced by ring announcer Justin Roberts…

1. Kenny Omega vs. Tony Nese (w/Mark Sterling, Ariya Daivari). Sterling has a brace over his right arm. Nese took advantage of a distraction by clipping Omega’s knee. Nese went for a moonsault from the middle rope that Omega avoided. Omega performed a snap dragon suplex and a V-Trigger. Sterling climbed on the apron. Omega used a knee strike to knock Sterling off the apron and onto Daivari on the floor. Omega hit Nese with a One Winged Angel and scored the pin.

Kenny Omega defeated Tony Nese in 1:55.

After the match, Omega got a microphone. Before Omega could speak, music played, and then TMDK’s Zack Sabre Jr., Bad Dude Tito, and Mikey Nicholls made their entrance. Omega exited the ring and went to the entrance ramp, which meets the ring apron.

Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, and Jack Perry walked out. Omega told the crowd it was TMDK and said that he doesn’t know what it stands for, and neither do they. Omega spoke about how it would look good for either him or Sabre to have a win on their record against the other…

Powell’s POV: A quick squash win for Omega. I’m looking forward to Omega vs. Sabre at Forbidden Door, but it’s hard to imagine that the post-match segment sold anyone on the match. Roughly two hours before showtime, WrestleTix listed the venue as being set up for 3,687 with 3,348 tickets distributed. The listed capacity is 6,400. This is AEW’s first show in the building.

Highlights aired from AEW Collision of “The Dogs” David Finlay and Clark Connors beating “The Young Bucks” Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson… Excalibur said The Dogs would speak during the show, and then ran through the previously advertised lineup…

Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, and Marina Shafir made their entrance from outside the building, and then Bandido and Brody King entered via the stage…

2. Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia (w/Marina Shafir) vs. ROH Champion Bandido and Brody King. King helped Bandido stand on the middle of the top rope, and then Bandido performed a moonsault onto both opponents on the floor before a picture-in-picture break. [C]

Moxley performed a cutter on King, who no-sold it before hitting Moxley with a lariat, and then stayed down. Moments later, King approached Shafir at ringside and barked at her, and then she returned the favor by barking at him. The Death Riders duo isolated King before a PIP break. [C]
